The 2010 6 Hour will be held at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit over the weekend of December 3rd - 5th 2010.

Championship... Yes, within one short year, Motorcycling Australia has granted the James Spence promoted event as an Australian Championship. The importance of Endurance racing in Australia has been underlined not only by the support of Motorcycling Australia but also the on-going commitment by lubricant giant, Bel-Ray.
